Features

No Overage - no additional charges

Fast data roaming speeds, worldwide.

Lowest data increments of just 1KB - only pay for exactly what you use.

We provide you with a SIM card which works in any unlocked data only device around the world to access the Internet. Simply top it up here on the portal with a prepaid data bundle of your choosing, then select the zone you will use it in and the size of the bundle you require. This bundle will last for 30 days, and then you are free to top it up again as many times as you wish.

A data increment describes how much your data usage is "rounded up" every time you use your data SIM. The Cellhire Prepaid Data SIM rounds in tiny 1KB sessions – which means almost no rounding at all. Other products can apply rounding increments as large as 1MB – which is over 1000 times bigger. With a 1MB increment, downloading a single 10KB email would take 1MB from your data balance.

Please check that your device is not locked to your current provider. If you aren't sure if it is then the simplest way to check this is to put a SIM card from a different operator into your device and see if it still works. If this works your device is not locked. If your device is locked you can get it unlocked by your network provider.

Please ensure that your device is unlocked and not tied to a network. There are no restrictions on what device it can be used in. The SIM works with all data devices and tablets - if inserted to a USB dongle or MiFi mobile hotspot device you can connect your laptop computer to receive data.

Data roaming must be turned on in the device that is being used with the Cellhire SIM.
If you are going to connect to the device with your smartphone, laptop or tablet, then turn data roaming off on these devices so they connect to the external MIFI or USB device containing the Cellhire SIM and do not connect to the roaming network.

In most countries no APN (Access Point Name) settings are required for this SIM, however if you have any issues connecting to the Internet then try changing the APN name to "fast.m2m” and leave the username and password blank. The settings are likely to be in the Cellular Data section of your device.

Everything will work as normal, except for using BIS which is not currently supported. There is a workaround however - we would recommend that you use a MiFi to tether the signal to your BlackBerry as you will then have full functionality.

Yes, the data bundle is valid for 30 days from when you receive your SIM card. If you run out of data or the bundle expires, you can top-up through My Account or by going directly to http://prepaiddata.cellhire.com.

Live usage information is available in our top-up site http://prepaiddata.cellhire.com which you can also access through My Account. You will first need to create a prepaid data account on this site but once you have done so, you will also be able to set up usage alerts.

You will be able to upgrade the remaining data allowance in your bundle to be usable in the new zone. The top up portal will make it clear how much data you have left and how much this will cost, and you can pay by any of the approved payment methods.

Had some trouble getting started. Technical support was helpful. Once started it worked great as a driving and walking GPS and allowed us access to area information as we travelled in Spain and Germany.

This was so easy to use! I followed the instructions that came with the SIM. It was already activated but I emailed just in case and two people got back to me right away - excellent customer service!! I was in Europe for 2 weeks, and I used a fraction of it - there are plenty of wifi aboard, much more than in the U.S. Just for reference, I went to London, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Berlin with a stop over in Reykjavik and the phone automatically switched over to the networks without issue. I will definitely buy again next time I'm aboard. Thanks!!!

Learning the SIM card/mobile wifi was easy and cellhire was readily available to answer questions here and in Europe. My 80 year old mother stayed on after I left and she is finding it so convenient to use, even on a bench at the boardwalk. Since Mom kept mine, I've ordered another mobile wifi system for my daughter and son in law for their upcoming travels. Thank you Cellhire!

Technically worked excellently during my traveling Paris and Rome. Good product! 500 M is enough to for me to check things online and even to make MagicJack internet phone call. Free wifi is every where in Europe which does save me a lot of data bandwidth. I highly recommend this product!

Great for Baltic Cruise! The SIM/data plan worked on my unlocked Nexus 5 in Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Russia (St Petersburg), Finland and Sweden. Once in a while, it did not properly connect to the network so I had to dig into the phone's network settings.

This product was great and exactly as described. I used it on my trip in England, Ireland, Italy, Greece and Croatia. Its tough to be out of touch and this product allows you to stay in touch with your smartphone at a very good price. All I did was insert it into my phone and it worked right away.

As soon as we arrived in Europe I popped in the sim card to my unlocked phone and voila! Worked beautifully! I will never travel again without Cellhire!! Thank you!!!!!!!!

My data worked flawlessly traveling a month through London, Hungary, Austria, Netherlands, Prague, Barcelona and Madrid! I was concerned just how well it would work, but I shouldn't have worried. Whatsapp, Airbnb, booking dot com all worked beautifully. We travel to Europe at least once a year and I will always use cellhire for my data! I will also refer friends and family! Thank you Cellhire!!! Five stars!!!!!!

I cannot imagine what will be my trip like. It really helped a lot. I travel to Czech Republic, France, Belgium, and Netherland. I could get 3G signals in almost urban area. And the customer service is quite responsible. I would use it again for next international travel.

So far it is working great here in US. I am planning my trip to Europe in 2 months and we'll see how it will work there. Since I didn't test the service in Europe, I rated it 4 starts.

Everything worked great on a trip to Spain. You can download the app onto your phone to easily see how much data you've used, too. I feel the price for the data you pay for is very reasonable. I've seen other providers for a much more expensive price tag. I didn't come close to using all my data, but then again, I didn't have a lot of time to post photos, etc. But having internet access was incredibly helpful when I was walking around Barcelona and needed directions. The customer service is also awesome - I had questions before I purchased, and they answered me right away. They also called and emailed me after I purchased to confirm the state date of my data. Totally worth the money and I'll definitely use this again on my next trip abroad and recommend it.

The Mifi device and SIM card worked great on a trip to Spain. The device is small enough to fit in my bag, and wasn't clunky in anyway. You can download the app onto your phone to easily see how much data you've used, too. I didn't come close to using all my data, but then again, I didn't have a lot of time to post photos, etc. But having the Mifi device was incredibly helpful when I was walking around Barcelona and needed directions. I was able to easily get a signal and have all my devices connect to the MiFi device. The only time I couldn't get a signal was a couple times when I was in a couple restaurants. However, it did work inside my hotel. I got about 5 or so hours of battery life from the MiFi device after I charged it, so make sure you charge it every night if you plan on using it everyday. The customer service is also awesome - I had questions before I purchased, and they answered me right away. They also called and emailed me after I purchased to confirm the state date of my data. Totally worth the money and I'll definitely use this again on my next trip abroad and recommend it.

CellHire's nano sim worked well with my Iphone 6. Inserted it and it worked within a few second. Even used the card it came in to store my domestic sim for when I came home. Make sure you take a tool (paper clip) to open the Iphone 6 sim door. Hard to find one on an airplane.

The European 1GB Data Only Sim worked great on my recent trip to the Netherlands, Italy and Germany. Changed out my domestic sim for CellHire's sim on the oversea flight. My Iphone found service after just a few seconds after turning it on in Amsterdam, same in northern Italy as well as Germany. Never had less than 3G. It would find the best carrier in the service area. I used a text app, checked email, used Google maps. hotspot for my laptop, even used a VOIP app to call home every day of 7 days and still had plenty of data left. Will use again on my next trip, so easy! Only bit of advide, make sure you take something to open the sim card door on your Iphone. Hard to find a paper clip at 30,000 feet!

Worked perfectly. Came with the SIM installed and the APN name updated to the recommended value. The management page (192.168.8.1) was easy to use and very accurate as to the data usage. Had great signal quality (major cities in France). It found the network in each city immediately. Paired with my Chromebook, it did a great job.

Bought this 1GB package for France. Used in Paris, Bordeaux, Rennes, La Rochelle, and Nantes. Great signal in all cities. Paired with my Chromebook, watched MLB highlight videos at high def, no problem. Successfully topped up with additional 1 GB online.

Traveled through France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria and SIM and data worked great for me everywhere with no problems. Fast speeds in most places, too - prob 3G or LTE!

Beverly Vargo

Although a bit unnerving to not be able to check it before departing the USA, on arrival in Europe I had no issues with using the data card that I placed in my iPad. It was necessary for it to work in France, Italy and Switzerland as I needed it to track GPS data while my husband, who was wearing a GPS tracker, was running a difficult ultra marathon in the Alps. We also used to for navigation while driving and for emails. It connected at 3G which was adequate. I would purchase again for any European trip.

Almost zero setup. Got great coverage in Paris and Rome. Was faster than the crappy hotel wifi I had at some places. Highly recommended.

I am very pleased that I bought this SIM with a data package. I visited five countries during 8 days (Germany, France, Luxemberg, Belgium and the Netherlands). Iinserted the nano card into my Motorola Droid while we landed and was connected within a minute. The connection was always rapid (other than one night in Luxemberg, maybe related to being in the hotel or weather, who knows) and strong. I was able to use Skype without any problem as well as my vonage app. I purchased 1gB of data which was more than enough (although I didn't stream video). Buy this card and the package, you won't be disappointed.

This worked well for me, all our devices could easily connect to dataplan . Data usage can be controlled by switching it off. The cost of the mifi router was less than I saw elsewhere, and in addition to using it for cell data it can be used as a wifi extender.

Using the data SIM in a Huawei mifi device and was able to use google maps on my tablet paired to the mifi APN to guide us from the airport to the flat we are renting in Edinburgh - it simply just works perfectly!

In previous years I rented a hotspot from TEP wireless and from X-Com Global. Each required some headache to configure once I landed in Europe. This time I purchased a SIM from three different companies for my two Hotspots. Results: never got the T-Mobile Sim to work in either device. I bought a ATT SIM with their very expensive passport pro plan (2x cell hire'cellhire's prices!) and it worked flawlessly without any configuration. The Cellhire SIM required configuration for each country we entered, but once set up (somewhat simple to do on my Huawei E5377TS-32 hotspot) it connected and worked flawlessly. Bottom line: I would purchase the product again and plan on doing so next year. For me the minimal configuration I well worth the savings over ATT's expensive data.

This worked perfectly!! Easy to get messages. We used free wifi when we found it [a trip to Italy] and then this mifi when wifi wasn't available, in order to not use up as much data. Will definitely use again on our next trip!

iPad sucks data (not the fault of Cellhire) so be sure to get appropriate amount of data and configure device before leaving to limit photos and videos auto downloaded. Needed to be judicious about monitoring usage, but coverage was great.

The 500MB European bundle proved to be a great purchase for our recent trip to France.
I was able to upload photos to Facebook, use Google maps and FaceTime my dad on his birthday.
I will be purchasing another bundle for our trip to Mexico over the holidays.
Thank you for your assistance.
